We build cool sh*t, and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

NOW HIRING—Kiwi-owned, Victoria-based, NZ Builders is a custom home building company in Canada, specializing in high-performance, sustainable, architecturally stunning homes that are built to last in our Pacific Northwest climate.

Our team of skilled, experienced carpenters from New Zealand and around the world bring together a diverse background of talent, expert craftsmanship and attention to detail to every project. We’re proud to have cultivated a culture where Kiwis can feel at home while exploring everything Canada offers. We can even support you through the visa and immigration process.

Like a game of rugby, everyone brings their strengths to the field, and together we make a winning team.

Meet NZ Builders chippy Ross Macdonald, a skilled carpenter and project manager who has been with NZ Builders for six years. As a Kiwi-Canadian transplant, Ross came to the company after seeing an ad on a Facebook group for Kiwis in Canada. He’s had the opportunity to immerse himself in Canadian culture (he’s a big ice hockey fan), while working on some of the most exciting and challenging construction projects in his career. Ross co-managed a “mind-blowing” Concrete Tilt-up home overlooking the ocean and Olympic Mountains, which gave him the opportunity to work with some of the most talented people in the industry. The home has been nationally recognized and received multiple awards for pushing the envelope of architectural and building science.

Victoria, located on Vancouver Island, is a great place for outdoor enthusiasts, with its mild climate and abundant access to mountains, vast rainforest, scenic wilderness and opportunities to spot wildlife.

“My dad being from Canada made coming here an obvious choice. The best thing about Victoria is its size, relative to the size of Wellington. It has a city vibe with great nightlife and restaurants, while also being central to all the things in Canada you hear about that cater to an outdoor lifestyle. Plus, Victoria is also home to Rugby Canada, with several clubs in town that play throughout autumn and spring.”
